Steve Wilson acknowledged it was "funny" facing his former Cub teammates for the first time Tuesday. Wilson induced Jose Vizcaino into a pop out in the eighth inning with two runners on base. "Every player wants to do good against his old team, to show them that they made a mistake by trading him," Wilson said. "But I wasn't thinking too much about that. I was just glad to get a chance to pitch against them." . . .

Anthony Young, who set a major league record with his 27th consecutive loss last season, was traded from the New York Mets to the Chicago Cubs for shortstop Jose Vizcaino. * Michael Jordan will probably get his minor league assignment today, Chicago White Sox General Manager Ron Schueler said. Jordan, 0 for 3 with a walk Wednesday for double-A Birmingham, is anticipating he will be assigned to Birmingham. . . . .

General Manager Kevin Malone made it official Sunday: Mark Grudzielanek is the No. 1 shortstop ahead of Jose Vizcaino. Malone informed the players of their status during brief individual meetings at Dodgertown. But Malone said Vizcaino could regain the starting position by outperforming Grudzielanek in exhibition games. The Dodgers' spring opener is Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals at Holman Stadium. "This is the way I look at the Dodger shortstop situation," Malone said.
